Re: K&n

I wouldn't go by those things. 5-10hp at the crank could mean 2-3 at the wheels anyway. The butt dyno tells me my intake added power and the sound is way cooler. Thats enough for me. At least there's better throttle response.

Re: K&n

I would only consider an intake for sound and for the good looks it adds to the engine bay.

If you want real power from these cars you will need to invest thousands of dollars.

Re: K&n

remember the K&N dyno is for lx, which mods tend to give better performance. just due to the engine and exhaust system.

Re: K&n

i thought it was tested on an automatic as well, which would be even less gains than with a manual. (the FIPK was tested on a 2001 EX manual and only claimed 4.8hp @ 6200rpm)
